SAW FILING AND SETTING MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 427,898, dated May 13, 1890.

' Application filed September 6, 1889. $erial No. 323,123. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM H. PARRY, of New York city, (Fordham Heights) in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Saw Filing and Setting Machine, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention is an improvement in that class of machines which have a saw that is alternately clamped and released and moved the distance of one tooth during the reciprocating movement of a file-holder that slides in a guideway adapted to vibrate in a vertical plane.

The features constituting the improvement are as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same with parts in section. Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement 011 the line a: on of Fig. 2. Fig. 4: is a similar view of the same on the line y y of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the saw-feed, and Fig. 6 is a transverse section ofpart of the improvement on the line a z of Fig. 2.

The improved saw filing and setting machine is mounted on a suitably-constructed frame A, in one end of which is held the main driving-shaft B, connected by suitable means with the machinery for imparting 'a rotary motion to the said shaft. On the shaft B is secured acrank-disk C, pivotally connected with a pitman D, connected with a slide E, mounted to slide in a gnideway F, pivoted at one end at F to the main frame A. On the other end of the slideEis formed afile-holder G, supporting the file H, preferably of threecornered shape, as shown in the drawings. The file H fits with its, pointed base end in an aperture G in the holder G, and its outer end fits in an aperture G formed in a block G secured by a clamp G on the outer end of the file-holder G by means of a set-screw G By loosening the set-screw G the clamp G permits of moving the block G so as to remove a worn-out file and insert a new one when desired. The file H swings forward and backward on the teeth of the saw I to be filed.

The saw I is supported on rollers J, mounted to turn on brackets J, secured by bolts J 3 to the sides of the main frame A at the front end. The brackets J are vertically adj ustable by the said bolts J passing through slots J in the said brackets. By this means the rollers J can be raised or lowered, so as to accommodate saws of different widths.

The saw-blade is held in a clamping device.

comprising a fixed jaw K, held on the front end of the frame A, and amovable jaw K, adapted to press the saw-blade against the fixed jaw K. The movable jaw K is formed 011 a shaft K extending transversely and mounted to turn in suitable bearings in the frame A. From the shaft K projects rearward an arm K resting on top of a cam K mounted on a shaft K extending transversely and mounted to turn in suitable bearings in the main frame A. On the front end of the shaft K is formed an arm K connected by a screw K or other means with the under side of the guideway F at its free front end. The under side of the free end of the said gnideway F rests on one end of a lever L, fulcrumed at L on the main frame A and having its other end L resting against the periphery of the cam L secured on the main driving-shaft B. Thus when the latter is rotated a forward and backward sliding motion is imparted to the slide E and its file-holder G, and at the same time the said slide will move up and down with its gnideway F, raised and lowered by the lever L, operated from the cam L In order to hold the guideway F in contact with the leverL, a spring F, secured to the main frame A, )resses on top of the guideway F. When said gnideway swings upward, the cam K swings downward, so that the movable jaw K is disengaged from the sawblade I. When, however, the guideway F swings downward onto the screw K the arm K moves the shaft K so as to raise the cam K whereby an upward pressure is exerted against the arm K fastened on the shaft K or diminished.

so that the latter turns and presses the movable jaw K against the saiwblade l, so as to clamp the latter in place.

During the time that the movable jaw K is released the file II is disconnected from the teeth of the saw-blade l, and now the feeding mechanism N operates on the saw-blade so as to move the saw-blade forward the distance of one tooth. The feeding mechanism N is provided with a pawl N, adapted to engage the teeth of the saw-blade I, and is pivoted on one end of a lever N having a movable fulcrum formed by a sleeve N held adj ustably on the lever N by a set-screw N". (See Fig. 4.) On the under side of the sleeve N is formed a pin N mounted to turn in a nut N, held adj ustably on a transverse plate A of the main frame A. The nut N is fastened in place by a bolt N passing through a longitudinally-extending slot A, formed in the said transverse plate A By adjusting the sleeve N forward or backward on the lever N the throw of the latter may be increased The inner end of the lever N is operated on by a cam N, secured on the main shaft 1 so that when the latter is re tated a sidewise swinging motion isimparted to the lever N which, by its pawl N, moves the saw-blade I forward at the time that the file l I is disengaged from the teeth of the sawblade and the movable jaw K is out of contact with the blade. The spring N serves to hold the inner end of the lever N against the cam N.

The saw-setting mechanism 0 is actuated from the main driving shaft B, and is provided with two blocks or dies 0 and O placed in line with each other at the sides of the sawblade I. The blocks 0 and O are secured on a plate 0 by means of bolts 0" passing through slots 0 in the said plate 0''. By adjusting the bolts 0 said blocks 0 and 0 may be moved nearer to each other or farther from each other, according to the size of the teeth to be set. The plate 0 is provided with a rearward] y-extcn ding arm 0, provided with a slot 0 through which passes a bolt 0 securing the arm 0" to a rearward extension Q on a slide Q, held to slide longitudinally in suitable guidcways A formed on the main frame A. The plate 0 is adapted to be adjusted transversely by a bolt P, screwing in the extension Q, and engaging the arm 0, so that when the bolt 0 is loosened and the screw P is turned the arm 0 moves transversely so as to bring the blocks 0 and O in proper position for the teeth to be operated upon.

The slide Q is pivotally connected bya pitman R with a crank-pin S, secured in the face of a gear-wheel T, mounted to turn on a stud secured on the main frame A. The gearwhcel T meshes in a pinion U, secured on the main driving-shaft 13, so that when the latter is rotated the gear-wheels U and T rotate, and the gear-wheel T, by its crank-arm S, im-

parts a forward and backward sliding lllOlllOl} to the slide Q, whereby the blocks 0 and press alternately against succeeding teeth on the saw-blade I in opposite directions, so as to set the teeth.

The operation is as follows: \Vhen the several parts are in place, as shown in the drawings, and motion is imparted to the main driving-shaft 13, then the tile l'i swings forward and backward and at the same time moves up and down by the action of the cam L, as previously described. \Vhen the hle moves forward, it files one of the teeth of the saw I in the usual manner, and at its returnstroke is sufficiently raised above the saw to disengage the same entirely. On the returnstroke of the file II the cam K is in its lowermost position, so that the movable jaw K s disengaged from the saw I, and the latter is moved forward the distance of one teeth by the pawl N of the feeding mechanism N, moving the saw in the direction of the arrow a the distance of one tooth. As soon as the guideway F swings downward to its lowermost position the movable jaw K again clamps the saw onto the fixed jaw It, and then the block 0 or O is moved longitudinally, so as to engage one of the teeth of the saw and press the same outward. The slide Q operates in conjunction with the slide E and the lever N on every full stroke of the file N. The slide Q moves only for ward and backward, whereby one tooth is pressed in one direction by one of the blocks 0 or 0 and at the next movement of the slide Q the following tooth is pressed in the opposite direction by the respective block 0 or 0. It is to be understood that the latter are shaped according to the form of tooth used. The under sides of the blocks are beveled, so as to press the teeth into an inclined position, as indicated in Fig. 1.

Having thus fully described myinvcntion, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a saw filing and setting machine, the combination, with the vertical support A and the driving-shaft, of a reciprocating fileholder and a guidewa-y for the latter, which is pivoted contiguous to said shaft and arranged radially therewith, a pivoted cam-lever L, arranged beneath said guideway, a cam on the driving-shaft for operating the ca1nlevcr,a pitman connecting the tile-holder and a disk on the shaft, and a clamp for holding the saw-blade, as shown and described.
